Articles on Healthful Living

Weekly reflections from Dr. David Glass on physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

🧠 This Week’s Article: “Optimise” by Dr. David Glass
In the final instalment of the NEURO series on mental wellbeing, Dr. Glass explores how to optimise brain health by keeping the mind active, engaged, and connected. From learning new skills and playing memory-based games to volunteering and nurturing meaningful relationships, this article highlights how mental stimulation and a sense of purpose can significantly reduce the risk of dementia. Drawing inspiration from Psalm 71, it also reminds seniors that they still have a vital role to play — in their families, communities, and even in church leadership.
